<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116122">@simulacrum</span> I've read the meeting's chat and tried to summarize the actionables in tomorrow's compiler meeting agenda (in case someone is /not/ already on the same page about it)<br>

<p>As I don't have a great context on that, feel free to comment on that! (or remove it altogether...)<br>
thanks :)</p>

<p>IIRC there were several relevant questions we wanted to answer before blog etc</p>

<p>revert PR <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/82556">#82556</a> and schedule another meeting comment</p>

<p>The linked comment was just in reference to a hypothetical future where we switch the defaults for musl targets to dynamically linked by default and we get a lot of complaints from users. It's not something we need to do now <span aria-label="smile" class="emoji emoji-1f642" role="img" title="smile">:smile:</span></p>

<p>I think the next steps right now are just: write the MCP and get compiler team signoff and then write a blog post to give the community a heads up.</p>

<p>Hm, we had discussed needing to verify whether we can give warnings etc like we want to before the blog post, I think</p>

<p>Just to clarify: You are saying we need to verify whether such warnings are *implementable” ? Or are you saying we need to evaluate whether the warnings are going to be reasonable (i.e. palatable to our users)  in practice?</p>
